How Does Workers’ Compensation Work in Missouri?

In Missouri, if you have suffered from a work-related illness or injury, you can receive benefits such as payments to cover your loss of earnings and medical bill coverage. The severity and nature of your injuries are determining factors in the amount of benefits you can receive.

You may be able to receive temporary disability benefits or permanent disability benefits depending on the circumstances or severity of your injury. In order to receive benefits, your injured must be reported to your employer by 30 days after the injury or diagnoses.
